Underdog

Whilst taking the Seattle Underground Tour, we emerged briefly into an alley to find this neat example of eight-bit art. This was snapped back in February.

Paris moderne

Towers of glass, steel and concrete are not the first things that come to mind when you say the word Paris.

Port du casque obligatoire

Spotted this wonderful piece of street art not far from the Centre Pompidou when I was in Paris a year ago. The title of this post refers to the sign on the door.

Cycle city
